Yes , it happened to me once. Is the dash flashing any codes ? I dont really know why mine did it but i shut it off and restared and mine was fine. I checked my ground wire on battery and it was a tad loose so i tightened it up . It hasnt happened since that one time . Dont know if the loose cable caused or fixed it either way

It has defaulted to limp mode.
Check all your fuses. I remember someone else had an obscure fuse that was blown.
I think someone else disconnected the battery for a minute.

No code and no fuses blown and extremely hard to change gearing I believe I've been acquainted with the infamous clutch problems !!!

It doesn't sound like a clutch problem IMO. You may need to reset the ECM theres a thread on here somewhere for that.

Code 42 - thats not listed in the service manual.

Possible chasis ground problem (under drivers seat)?

I have yet to figure out how the read these codes correctly.
Some say put them together like @ghost did = 42.
Other say 4 long 2 short =4-2
so.. IDK. Another topic for another day!

Anyways..
42-1 is..
function failure - shift switch malfunction, loose or poor contact of the EOT sensor. EOT sensor malfunction
symptom - gear shift function doe snot work (1st gear only)
page 11-27

or...
4-2 is...
function failure - Dual clutch PC solenoid valve drive circuit malfunction
symptom - gear shift function doe snot work
page 11-13

Pages coming up soon.

Thanks for finding that - I wish all the codes were in one place.
